Eat Your Garden
£26.95“The first book to focus on a style of edible gardening that is lower in effort, higher in style and less demanding of space than the traditional kitchen garden or vegetable plot. Eat Your Garden is a grow-your-own book with a difference: its focus is on edimentals, plants that are both edible and ornamental. They offer a sustainable and beautiful way to grow food in your garden, whether it’s large, urban or a balcony, or in containers. Much like a potager garden, this is a naturalistic, stylish and low-maintenance method of integrating edible plants, largely perennials, within your existing garden, whatever its style and without the need to create a dedicated space. Harry will introduce you to the huge range of plants available, from the familiar to the surprising and lesser known, so you can grow a diverse range of plants that are good to eat, good for biodiversity and good for your health. He’ll guide you on how to plan and design yo

The Elements
£10.99Human life is governed by the elements – water, earth, fire and air. They are fundamental to our existence. They sustain us, but they also challenge us. In ‘The Elements’, John Boyne has created a vivid kaleidoscope to reflect that contradiction: a quartet of intertwined narratives, each providing a different perspective on cause and effect from the points of view of the enabler, the accomplice, the perpetrator and the victim. From a mother on the run from her past, to a young football star on trial, a successful surgeon grappling with childhood trauma, and finally a father on a transformative journey with his son, the four strands weave together to form a tapestry of intersecting lives.

Enough
£22.00Etta’s got just one day. One day to tell her family her secret. One day to bring them back together. One day to put the finishing touches on her plan. One day to tell the world enough is enough. Because this one day will rewrite Etta’s story.

Raise Your Soul
£12.99Eleni put an arm around him and said: ‘Come, come, life is ahead of us. Raise your soul now. We have much to do’. This is a book about how the great forces of history shape us – and how world-famous political activist Yanis Varoufakis was inspired by the resilience and the courage of his family, from his mother Eleni and grandmothers Anna and Trisevgeni, to his partner Danae. It is both an intimate portrait of a political awakening and a dramatic sweep through Greece’s history of post-colonial independence, Nazi occupation, communist partisan resistance, Cold War fracture, civil war, fascist dictatorship, socialist revival and tumultuous present-day economic collapse.

When tragedy strikes the island of Skralla, Alex and her friends journey north to the magical heart of Scotland, where dark plots are in motion, and humans and dragons fight side-by-side against an ancient demonic evil.

The Blind Spot
£25.00The wealthy and powerful few have dominated the masses throughout most of human history. This is starkly visible now more than ever – today, the gulf between oligarchs and the average citizen is larger than any gap that existed during European serfdom or the slave society of Imperial Rome. We have arrived at the most blatant version of oligarchy that most modern states have endured, with politicians bought and paid for across the political spectrum. The strange thing is: we aren’t in open revolt against this system. In fact, we keep voting to prop it up. Why? In ‘The Blind Spot’, political scientist Jeffrey A. Winters delivers an urgent, incisive account of how we reached this era of in-your-face oligarchy, exposing how modern democracy was developed to protect the interests of the ultra-rich.

Filthy Rich
£20.00The story the powerful hoped would disappear. Written by the world’s bestselling storyteller James Patterson, this is the original and definitive account of how Jeffrey Epstein built his fortune, abused his power, and evaded justice for years – hiding in plain sight among the global elite. Drawing on original police interviews, court documents and victims’ testimonies, the book traces the earliest investigations, Epstein’s guilty plea and the shockingly lenient sentence that allowed his crimes to continue. ‘Filthy Rich’ is also a chilling examination of how power protects itself – and how institutions failed those most vulnerable.

Vocal Break
£22.00For millennia, women’s raised voices have been heard as unruly, uncivilized, dangerous. Women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death. In ‘Vocal Break’, Lauren Elkin seamlessly blends memoir, feminist manifesto and cultural history to explore a plurality of female singing voices – and how women have used them to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism.
